The Knights

(Pursuing Cinderella) 30

Ch. 296 / 308 Apr 01, 2025

Miracle opened her eyes as she felt her nakedness under the blanket. He quickly shifted his gaze to the bed but he did not see the wife there.

"Trigger?" She called his name using her sweet voice, but no one answered her.

He slowly got up from the bed and got dressed even though his legs were slightly sore. After getting dressed he immediately went out of his wife's room and found a woman in the living room busy cleaning.

"Ma'am Miracle? You're already awake. Sir Trigger is telling you to get up early in the morning because he's just going to take care of something for a while," he said.

Miracle quickly flashed a sweet smile. "Thank you. Did you eat too?"

The old man nodded and smiled back at him. "Yes, come, I will prepare you too."

She followed the old man into the kitchen who had actually even served her, she kept on saying thank you for the old woman's gestures. He smiles at her even though he is feeling something inside.

He wanted to sulk with his wife because he didn't see it when he woke up. He's supposed to wait for her to wake up and cuddle with her, why did he suddenly leave without letting her know?

She realized that every time Trigger's inviting her for a vacation, he never involved his business to spend time with her. But now, his mind is still focused on work even though they are together.

"You're really nice. I heard from my co -workers that Sir Trigger's wife is very nice, I thought they were just joking but now that I've seen you up close I believe." She giggled with what the helper said.

"Oh, it's embarrassing. But thank you for the compliment. I didn't know they were talking about me here. Has Trigger been known here for a long time?" she asked curiously.

"It hasn't been that long, but sometimes when they're together as siblings, this is the hotel they choose, so as time goes on, we get to know them," the person replied.

His forehead furrowed. "Brothers and sisters? His brothers? Aren't you afraid of them? I only saw two of my husband's brothers so I'm not sure about the others."

"Oh, ma'am! At first we thought they were really poor siblings. Is it because of the posture of their bodies, the taller and the handsome! We thought they were like artists who belittle us, but it's not like that. When I heard from our boss, they were even brothers and sisters who sponsored the resort to increase the workers' salaries. Like me, the salary used to be only ten thousand. I did it in a month. But now it's doubled. " Miracle listened seriously to the old man's story. And after hearing everything, she unconsciously smiled.

Trigger, and his brothers, helping everyone they can. It almost sounded impossible but she heard it loud and clear. She's too fast to judge this family without even trying to know them.

But that's how everyone is. For the past five years, he has always read news about the Knights family's brutality against their rival companies. News and gossip everywhere. Their names are even included in the list of ruthless businessmen, and they're considered as the most powerful family in the whole world.

So maybe it's become normal for other people to fear and judge the Knights family, and she's one of them.

He felt he was too bad a person to judge his wife, to say that he was still selfish even a few years ago. And she also felt bad for hating Dagger who only wanted to protect his brother.

MIRACLE bit her lower lip when she saw Trigger on the balcony. I am still busy talking on the phone. After he had breakfast earlier, it came but he ignored it, someone just took it from their room and left again.

She suddenly felt bad for an unknown reason, she felt because she had done something wrong to the man so it was like this. He wanted to convince himself that it was really busy but he couldn't.

Is there someone busy who can't kiss or even greet their spouse for even a second?

He never bothered laying a finger on her. When he came back it was already lunch, but he left again and left without saying goodbye.

Now, it's already evening and he's still not trying to talk to her.

He was also embarrassed to approach his wife, lest he just ignore her. She kept on wondering what she did wrong, they even made love last night and suddenly, he became like this.

When Trigger dropped the call he was immediately swallowed and stared behind it. Can he talk about it now?

He slowly stepped closer to his wife. "Trigger?"

He smiled wryly at his wife as she looked back at him with cold eyes.

"Are we in trouble? Why aren't you talking to me?" he asked here.

I Avoided it ng looked and then walked closer to him. The woman wanted to be soft when he looked at her darkly. "You're not drunk when we made love last night, right?" he asked.

She nodded her head. "It's just wine, why would we get drunk with that--"

"Then why?"

She stopped speaking when she heard the man's voice. In its question, and in the tone of its voice, it seemed very difficult. Is he alright?

"What, why?" she asked him.

He placed his head on her shoulder. "What made you agree to do that with me, my wife? Why?"

She carefully caresses his broad shoulder. "Because I love you, Trigger. What are you saying? Why are you acting like that?"

She fell silent when she heard the man's faint sob. He's crying.

"You're making things complicated, Miracle. You're messing with my mind. I don't know the exact reason why you're doing all of these. But your actions drive me crazy. I feel like it's all true, I feel like you're happy, I really feel like you really love me. But I'm afraid that one day when I wake up I'm just being deceived by how I feel. "

She gulped hard. He slowly lowered his gaze when he felt the strong beating of his heart. "What are you talking about, Trigger?"

Her eyes widened as she knelt in front of him, sobbing and fainting. "I'm sorry for not telling this to you, baby. But I know about your plans, Miracle."

It was as if heaven and earth had fallen on him at his wife's answer. He slowly walked away from it in shock.

Her plans? He knew about it?

"Since when?" he asked weakly.

He looked at her with his forlorn eyes. "Ever since you came back."

Miracle wanted to fall to the ground when she heard that. He seemed to want to stab himself with stupidity. He felt that he was so stupid and that everything he had planned was worthless.

All this time, she thought everything's going according to her plan but she's wrong. Because from the very beginning, Trigger knew what he was doing.

"Wow," she gasped. "I thought, I-I thought I was really good. I thought I-I'll still win but ..." She looked away as she felt her tears falling down on her cheeks.

Trigger quickly stood up before hugging her tightly. "I'm sorry baby. I'm sorry for making you feel that way. But I'll do my best to forget about all of these. I'll pretend that I don't know anything. Just don't leave me again , hmm? I'll do everything, Miracle, I'll do everything just so you don't leave me, "she cried pleadingly.

The woman's chest grew heavier as she listened to her husband's plea. Even if he wanted to hug her and promise not to leave her, he couldn't do that.

She slowly pushed him away. "What's the point of staying here when I'm already satisfied with the outcome? I already saw you begging, kneeling down in front of me, seeing you and my parents having a fight, treating me like a fucking queen. All of those satisfied me already, Trigger. There's no reason for me to pretend that I love you and I'm happy with you. Because the truth is, I'm disgusted to be with you! I just put up with being close to you until I see you begging in front of me. "

She bit her lower lip to stop herself from saying sorry with all those words she said. She lied, all the love she poured into it was true, all her smiles and laughter were true. But it is no longer possible.

"I promised you and my parents, five years ago, that I'll come back to witness you being vulnerable because of me. I've seen all of that, Trigger. So do you think I'll still stay here? I didn't come back for you, I came back for myself. "

He stared at it boldly before isolating himself from it. With all those words she said, she knew the man had no strength to stop her.

He slowly stepped away from his wife. "You can marry any woman who'll satisfy your needs. My attorney will talk to you about the divorce paper."

She quickly walked away from him, away from the man she loves. He didn't want to leave it but that was all he could do.
